DuckDuckGo's browser uses more RAM than Chrome — and other 2026 browser myths the data doesn't support
Privacy-focused doesn't mean lightweight. Real-world 2026 testing shows DuckDuckGo's desktop browser using up to 2GB of RAM in scenarios where Chrome used 1.2GB — directly contradicting the assumption that a privacy browser is automatically more efficient. Meanwhile Brave, built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome, manages to stay nearly as light while blocking ads natively and running a local AI assistant that never touches the cloud. Here's what the actual numbers say about Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera and DuckDuckGo in 2026.
